The Girl in Apollo's Oracle

“I hate it when Mrs. Cruz tells her life story when the time is about to end.” Mia annoyingly kicked the pebble in front of her as they walked out of the school.    It’s already dark since they’re last subject teacher didn’t dismiss their class on time. Eleena just shook her head at her friend.    “You used to love going home late.” She glanced at Mia but she just rolled her eyes at Eleena.    “You’re lowkey reminding me that I used to go home with Jacob.” Eleena burst out laughing knowing that her comment will annoy Mia even more.    Mia hissed while glaring at Eleena before she playfully slapped her arm but Eleena just let it go. Mia kept kicking pebbles that were on their way as they silently

As soon as Eleena heard Apollo’s warning, she quickly went out of the house. All she wants now is to go home and hide in her closet. She’s safer there than in the hands of a person who will kill her eventually. Eleena ran as fast as she could and instead of going to the shore, she entered the deep forest.   She looked back and she didn’t see Apollo chasing her. She stopped and looked around in fear that he’s just hiding somewhere. Eleena sat at the huge root of a tree as she caught her breath. She wiped the beads of sweat that formed in her forehead and groaned when she felt that she’s thirsty. All the running made her crave for a cold soda.    Eleena quickly dodged the arrow that was almost buried in her face. She freaked out and quickly stood with her heart pounding against her chest due to fear and tension. She doesn’t even k

Eleena woke up and instantly groaned in pain. She feels like she was beaten up by 10 large men. Her head is aching and she can't move even just her finger. She feels nauseous and at the same time, hungry. She tried to think about what happened to her but all she remembers is Apollo's worried face.    She looked around and saw that she's still in Apollo's home. The last thing she did was lay in the bed to rest but when she opened her eyes, Apollo was looking at her as if he's afraid. She can't even understand the reason why he was like that and why does she feel as if she fell from a high building.    "Apollo." Her voice is hoarse but she hoped that he heard her.    Her eyes remained on the door, waiting for Apollo to arrive but he didn't come. She kept calling

The arrival of the destroyer in Mount Olympus became the talk of the town among the loyal servants of the gods. They were surprised when Zeus ordered them to prepare a special room for Eleena. Mount Olympus is supposed to be the home of the gods and they are the only ones permitted to stay in it but a mortal, the destroyer of the world at that, was welcomed as if she is one of them.    Hera heard everything about Eleena and Zeus's interest in her. She was furious knowing that her husband had favored another woman aside from her. She's getting sick of it but she cannot let someone take his husband away and her throne, mortal or not.    "What does this Eleena look like?" She turned to her servant and she immediately lowered her gaze.    "She's beautiful as the o

Apollo watched Eleena read one of his books. He's certain that she cannot understand any word but she's still pretending she's reading it. He can sense that she's avoiding him and he understands why. The fight between him and Zeus was a nightmare for her. He forgot how fragile Eleena is and that she isn't like them despite being the destroyer. She's still a mortal with fears and inhibitions.  "You sew pretty good." Apollo said and smiled but Eleena just peeked through the book.  He meant what he said. Eleena's dress came out nicely and it really suits her. That's what she has been doing in her room for the past few days after the incident between Zeus and Apollo. Eleena vent her anxiety and fear through sewing new clothes for herself. After witnessing Apollo going rogue, she cannot face him. She forgot that he's still a god
